Spaced Out in more ways than one! Keeping 2 metres apart is easily achieved. Although this is can be performed as a quartet of Bb Clarinets, it was conceived as being capable of supporting many more players - instructions for the distribution of parts to additional players are included in the score.

Written in minimalist style, this quartet for Bb clarinets may equally well be performed by a larger group. It is 'staged' and involves some choreography and sections of (mild) improvisation (trills) played in free time - enjoyable to play and interesting and entertaining for the audience. Detailed performance instructions are included at the end of the score. The off-stage clarinet part is included at the back of the 1st Clarinet part. Please don't be tempted to add a Bass Clarinet or any other variation - it is written for Bb Clarinets.

This is the same piece as "Pacemaker" but uses the metronome.

Conceived as a slightly tangential piece incorporating tone-changing and a metronome, but it is tonal and "audience-friendly". I have since re-written it so that it may be performed equally well without the metronome and renamed "Pacemaker". It is your choice! The sets of music are identical.

If you like being theatrical then use the metronome. Ideally use an old-fashioned, wooden, clockwork metronome, placed centrally and ceremonially on a stool in centre-stage and start before the performers go on stage (a stage-hand in a white coat or other costume, perhaps?). Performers should then walk on in sequence for their entries. The metronome will need to be loud enough for the performers to hear clearly. If you have a clockwork metronome, wind it up so that it lasts for the duration of the performance (about 5min 20secs) so that it runs down soon after the performers have finished. If you need to use an electronic metronome or an iPhone App, get a stage-hand (or performer) to carry it off-stage at the end of the performance (still "ticking"), ideally down a long corridor so that you hear it "ticking" further and further away for as long as possible.

Although the piece uses tone-changing (fingerings are marked) it is not hard to play - except, of course, that you need to be able to play in time to a metronome!!

This is the same piece as "Ticked Off" but without the metronome.

Originally conceived as a slightly tangential piece incorporating tone-changing and a metronome I have since re-written it so that it may be performed equally well without the metronome and renamed "Pacemaker". It is your choice which you perform! The sets of music are identical.

Although the piece uses tone-changing (fingerings are marked) it is not hard to play. Careful counting is essential and although "Pacemaker" does not use a metronome, the parts still need to have metronomic accuracy.
